Geocache Description:

Deep in the forest Moel Prysgau is an MBA mountain bothy.  The cache is not far away.

The others in the series are: Nant Rhys, Nantsyddion and Lluest Cwmbach.
Collect a clue from the logbook of each cache to find the Mid Wales Bothy Bonus Cache.


The cache should be easy to find.  The challenge is to work out the route to get here.  The bothy is close by if you need to stay overnight ;)

The nearby RUPP/track on the map to the south of the bothy has vehicle access but please don't attempt to drive this unless you know what to expect.  There are many deep river crossings and you would need a 4x4 with snorkel before considering it. In several parts it is not suitable for walking or cycling either, the forest tracks are the way to go.

Please note this is in a working forest.  Please take note of all warning signs and there may be occasional closures of paths and tracks.

Please be aware the ratings reflect the journey to arrive at GZ also be aware that the bracken is very thick in places and may need cutting back to access the cache.

Placed with kind permission from the Elan Valley Estate and the MBA. Moel Prysgau Mountain Bothy

The bothy can sometimes be busy without notice and there are no toilet facilities here, so come prepared if you're planning to stay!
